Most gear has a serial number, either printed on a label inside it or stamped into the headstock or neck plate. You can make a listing on Reverb by going to our.

The main purpose for finding a serial number on your Fender Stratocaster is to discover its production details. A serial number allows only an approximation of the production year because it corresponds only to the date that the piece was constructed, not to when the entire guitar was put together. Note that there is a serious amount of overlap on many serial numbers. Typically there is a one-year overlap between serial codes because of the changeover to new numbers in the factories each year.

Look on the headstock of the guitar to find the serial number for a Fender Stratocaster. It may be located on the front or the back. The serial number is typically a numeral preceded by one or two letters. During the first 14 years of Stratocaster production, the serial numbers were only numerals; from 1963 on, the numerals were preceded by a combination of one or two letters.

Look at the letter prefix on your guitar. For Strats dating from 1963 on, the prefixes mean:

S=Seventies E=Eighties V=Vintage Series N=Nineties Z=New millennium DZ=American Deluxe Series

Removing the neck of the guitar can be very challenging and can cause damage to the guitar when reattached so unless you are experienced in this field, have a professional perform this step.
